Book Description
Proudly waving the most famous tail in the dog world, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever lures waterfowl to his hunting master on the shores of his native Canada. Distinctive for his lustrous red coat and moderate size, the Toller is fast becoming the world's number-one "alternative retriever." Agile, intelligent and playful, this rare breed proves to be a first-rate companion dog in addition to being a superb hunter on both land and water. This Special Rare-Breed Edition is the only volume of its kind dedicated to this worthy breed, written by well-known retriever expert Nona Kilgore Bauer. With specific instructions on selecting a puppy, rearing and training the dog, this colorful book is a much-needed addition to the existing information on the Toller breed. Providing insightful chapters on the breed's history in North America, characteristics of the breed and the Canadian breed standard, the author has given owners and potential owners all of the information necessary to care for and train this energetic and bright dog. Over 135 color photographs enliven this comprehensive text, making this book an invaluable resource for all fanciers interested in this fascinating rare breed.

If you live in an area with very few NSDTR's. Not only do you need this book, but so does your vet. Give it as a gift to the vet after you read it. It will help you and them keep your toller in the best of health.

A rather generic book that pastes a few ducktoller specific pages in the front and inserts ducktoller pictures throughout. 90% of the content is general info about dogs.
A MUST HAVE FOR NEW TOLLER OWNERS AND ALL TOLLER LOVERS October 23, 2005

AFTER SEARCHING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS FOR SUCH A BOOK,IN PREPARATION FOR THE ADDITION OF A TOLLER PUPPY INTO OUR FAMILY, I WAS RELIEVED TO FINALLY FIND THIS BOOK FROM THE CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB ABOUT THE NOVA SCOTIA DUCK TOLLING RETRIEVER! THIS BOOK ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS WHEN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO REACH THE BREEDER REGARDING TRAINING, HEALTH AND CKC BREED STANDARDS, ITEMS TO BUY IN ADVANCE OF THE PUP'S ARRIVAL TO OUR HOME, ETC. IT IS AN EASY READ, CONTAINS GREAT PHOTOS OF ADULT TOLLERS 'IN ACTION' (IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY) AND ADORABLE "aw gee" PUPPY PIX WHILE RELATING THE HISTORY OF THE BREED AS WELL! SINCE THIS RARE BREED IS RELATIVELY NEW TO THE USA, ONLY BECOMING RECOGNIZED BY THE AKC AND FIRST ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE IN THE 'SPORTING DOG GROUP' IN 2003, THERE SHOULD SOON BE OTHER BOOKS AVAILABLE ABOUT THE BREED VIA THE AKC.
